Welcome back Carlos

I'm probably going to be more out than in tonight.

Although it's great to jump up 2-0 in the first against a fine pitcher. We could have gotten how many more if DD had gotten the bunt down slightly better?

Need a gem from Cole tonight. It's never easy to sweep a team.

We need as much momentum as possible going into Oakland. It might sound crazy because of where Oakland is in the standings, but that ballpark has been a black hole for rangers baseball over the years.

I guess we still have an opportunity to be somewhat of a spoiler.....But for me, it's really about the individual performances from now until the finish-line.......What's y'all's take?

We have a shot at the playoffs if we get hot

MIN taking out some frustration tonight. Magic Number will go down 1 from that game.

I guess the Crawler just got back from an extended stay in the Negative Zone and brought us all back souvenirs...

in more POSITIVE news, the Rangers keep making things interesting. Now just 2.5 games back, with that Magic Number firmly camped at 9.
WC race is quite like fools gold at this point. Twins have 4 with finished Detroit . Plus we have 7 against the A's.

Been busy. Are we getting any help from anyone tonight? Certainly not from the A's

Meanwhile, back in the "WC race."

I personally buried this "flawed"* team about a month ago.....Didn't buy any of!....None.....And here we sit.

A lot have - including me at times - been really critical of Banister.......But does it say anything about him/abilities/style, etc we're still here?

*If anyone saw the movie Princess Pride, then this will make some sense........."You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
A lot of the reason we are "in it" is because of the inadequacy of all of the other teams chasing the second wildcard.
